"A member's own orders and the field objects' menus: ChatMenu1-3, ItemObjMenu to TimeIdolMenu"

2026-09-26ui test

A GAPS item. The port closed CHAT's member menus (71-73) and the field objects' menus 34-37 and 39 at once, so the player could not tell a member to heal and could not break a breakable.

CHAT's member menus

What they are. ChatMenu1 (gcmn 0x0052a950) lists the member's own orders by place: Change Equipment in town; Designate Skill, Change Equipment, First Aid!, Designate Target, Assemble and Standby in a battle; the first three elsewhere. ChatMenu2 (0x0052ba80) is the member's skills on SkillMenuDisp's pages. ChatMenu3 (0x0052c0b0) is the target: the party for a skill aimed at allies, else the enemies within 2200 in front of the camera.
What they ask of the battle. RequestChatCmd(member, cmd, target, skill): 16, 3 or 4 from 71, 5 with the skill or 11 from 73. The player's line goes into the balloon ("Orca, use Repth!").
Refusals. A fallen member's rows say "Cannot be used while dead.". Change Equipment asks ccSpcChar::CheckChangeEquip (0x0059f3c0): the conditions, a skill under way (skillID 2 or more), acts 12-14. Its result is also CHAT's cancel mark. A member with no skill, too little SP or no target gets its own window.
Found on the way. 71's Select passes af 1: $a3 still holds the 1 its dispatch compared. 73's text for a skill on the member ends "yourself!!", from the strings themselves.
The port. menus/chat_member.rs. The orders go out as Request::ChatOrder, which the runtime already passes to the member's AI. CharInfo::act carries actNum. The help after the shut runs on the menu still open.
A runtime fix. The runtime answered balloon positions only for the speakers of the previous frame, so the line a menu opened was dropped in the same frame (CHAT's own orders too). hud_world now also answers for the party.

The field objects

What opens each. ccThGameCtrl's table maps a base type to openReqNum 0x1020 + k.
- 34 (0x10000): the breakables, rows 2, 4 and 7-14. EntryBreakObject puts them in every room; story rows of type 0 put rows 2 and 4.
- 35 (0x20000): rows 3 and 5. Nothing places them.
- 36 (0x40000): the symbols, rows 17 and 18. Story rows of type 3 kind 4 put them in event areas 17, 18, 20 and 24; the lake dungeons get 18.
- 37 (0x80000): the virus crystal, row 6. Only later volumes' story rows use it.
- 39 (0x200000): the Zeit statue, row 44. SetIDOL places it only under timeSym, set when the first word is 131, "Chronicling".
34 and 35. Kite breaks the object (BreakSomething, act 25), then AttackCancel, breakCount +1. On 34, rand() % 3 decides between an item from areaItemList and shutting. On 35, the trap's window closes on the OK button itself. With no trap or an unknown skill, 35 goes back to proccess 4 every frame and never ends.
36 and 37. 36 shows "Received effects of !" and counts symbolCount. 37 gives the crystal's item, or Virus Core A.
39. Its time is gameCnt[2]: ccAddPlayTime counts it and ChangeRequest zeroes it when a town is left. CheckTimeIdolRankIn and SetTimeIdolRank (main 0x001789a0, 0x00178870) keep five ranks at +0x6775. The places gained give timeIdolItems through 67. The message's second line is the rank's title: the code copies " #Wrecord." and then overwrites it.
The port. menus/objects.rs, with Request::BreakSomething and AttackCancel. The runtime plays them before Kite's next frame (Combat::kite_menu, with piney-battle's kite::break_something and attack_cancel). Game::game_cnt carries gameCnt.

Checks

The harness. tools/test_fieldui_rs.py no longer stubs 71-73. New scenarios cover every order, the refusals, backing out, town and field, eight random runs, and each object menu's paths (the save's ranks watched). The probe gained busy (skillID, actNum), mode and gamecnt. All 50 tests, and the other field-ui suites, match every frame.
Session tests. In chat_a_member_to_heal_in_a_fight, at event 3's goblins, CHAT > Orca > Designate Skill > Repth > Kite: Orca casts Repth and names it. In a_breakable_opens_item_obj_menu, in area 26's room (0, 6), Kite breaks a skeleton, breakCount rises and the item comes. the_object_menus_open_by_type opens 35, 36, 37 and 39 on a breakable given each type.
Shots. chat_member_shots saves to scratch/chat_member and object_menu_shots to scratch/obj_menus.

Still unknown

Whether "Chronicling" can be had in Infection. The runtime neither hands timeSym to SetIDOL nor counts gameCnt, so the Zeit statue never appears and would read 00:00:00. ccGimSymbol is not ported: Infection's symbols are stand-ins, so 36 names skill 0. Kite starts event 29's dungeon session as a ghost (dead 4, no HP), so the breakable test stands him up. That may be the start's doing or a real state. The menus are not compared with the game's pictures.
